THERE IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE.
We urge upon our readers to
regard what we shall say in
these columns as an expression
of our own conclusions reached
after a careful stndy of matters
and conditions. and that these
expressions are not intended in
any way to dictate, and we shall
be glad indeed, whenever we
have given an editorial expres
sion which does not meet with
the approval of any reader, for
him to take issue with us that
we may reason it out together,
giving our assurance if shown t
that our conclusions are not cor
rect, to make the acknowledge
ment.
In the past two issues of this
paper we took occasion to de
clare that there is an issue in 1
the coming primary, notwith
standing an attempt on the part
of some to side-trick it, by dis
A
cussing questions which are not 1
matters of contention. The
liquor question is here and so
far as the sincere Prohibitionists
are concerned it is unsolved, and
will continue to be unsolved un
til the dispensary and all other
liquor selling systems are wiped
out of existence. and the man
professing to be a Prohibition
ist who will not use all his pow- 3
er to crash the dispensary, is t
not consistent with his profes- t
sions, and if a candidate for f
office, will drive from him every t
man who stands by prohibition
as a religious principle. As a
matter of expediency a man may
do many things, but a religious
principle has no room for expe
dients. If prohibition is a reli- C
gious principle, some argue it is t
not, but if it is, then the sincere C
-Prohibitionists has his face set1I
in one direction, and that is to
wards the point where the sale
of intoxicating liquors as a ber- 1
erage must be abolished. I
If we are correct in this, what t
are the people going to do with
candidates for the legislature, 1
the body which has the power to 6
-destroy or continue the dispen- t
sary system, who are not wil- t
ling to admit that the liquor '
question is an issue in this cam- '
p'aign? We say it is an issue, ~
Baptist associations and Unions, ~
and Methodist conferences, have t
adopted resolutions urging the ]
issue, and several newspapers,
denominational and secular have C
written columns of matter dis- 2
cussing it, prominent Prohibi
tionists are urging their friends I
to select, combine, and elect I
Prohibitionists to the legislature,
and with this condition existing
the issue is not only drawn but
-it 'is one; that requires the serious
consideration of both, Prohibi- E
tionists and Dispensaryites,I
"that none be put on guard E
whose position is at all doubt-3
ful" The voters who favor 3
prohibition cannot afford to vote C
for men that do not come out(
boldly and manfully and pro- (
claim themselves Prohibition
ists, who will devote their ut- t
-most ability to destroying the I
dispensary, and who cannot and I
will not compromise "a religious 3
principle."' Those voters who ]
favor the dispensary as a matter a
of public policy, believing it a I
practical control of the liquor I
traffic, but if destroyed, will cur- I
tail our school facilities, and de- 3
prive needy confederate vet- c
erans of their justly merited a
pensions, will force a much e
. heavier tax levy to meet the I
running expenses of the govern- t
ment, and at the same time hav'e "
the liquor demon stalking all over a
the country with impunity, can- E
not afford to vote for men, unless E
they too, make public a declara- ~
. tion that they will support and f
sustain the dispensary, and will
not by their votes in the legisla
ture cripple the institution.
This is a matter which is of t
deep concern to both Dispen- t
sa r i t e s and Prohibitionists; e
neither side is willing to trust its e
cause in the hands of compromis- a
ing men who are now, or have c
heretofore been strongly opposed !ii
to the dispensary, because a re-ie
-ligious principle was involved, 9
and standing upon that principle -i
so religiously, scratched the name i
of Senator Tillman when he last i:
was a candidate for the United
States Senate. There should -a
be no equivocation, no fioun- a
dering about, a candidate must i
be frank and honest, and if .x
he is worthy of the peo- ~
ple's confidence, he will not at- i
tempt to mislead or deceive the i
voters, for it is more honorable t
to go down in defeat faithfully 1
standing by a religious principle, a
than to win by crafty deception. d
There is more Catarrh in this section of the
nountry than all other diseases put together.
and until the last few years was supposed t, be I
incurable. For a great many years doctors pro
nounced it a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies. and by constantly failini; to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it incurable. Science
has proven catarrh to be a constitutional dis- 1
ease, and therefore requires constitutional treat
ment. Hall's Catarrh Cure. manufactured by 6
F. J. Cheney & Co.. Toledo. Ohio. is the only (
constitutional cure on the market. It is taken
'internilly in doses from 10 drops to a teaspoon
fuil. It acts directly on the blood and mucous
surfaces of the system. They offer one hun
dred dollars for any case it fails to cure. Send
for circulars and testimonials.

SAVE US FROM OUR FRIEN~DS.
Governor Lanham, a brother
>f Hon. J. C. Lanham of Sum
nerton, has been renominated
rovernor of Texas. In the same
ionvention which renominated
3overnor Lanham, Ex-Governor
Bogg made a speech in which he
~ook occasion to speak a kmnd
cord for President Roosevelt,
md denounced the methods
idopted to nominate Parker, at
hc same time saying he would
~upport the Democratic ticket.
Snumber of newpapers are
crverely criticizing Governor
-ogg for speaking his mind so
>lainly, they say his support is a
nockery, and intimate strongly
hat he does not want Parker
~lected. We think the conduct
>f both Ex-Governor Hogg and
301. W. J. Bryan, inexcusable.
f these two men who have been
he recipients of exalted honors
rom their party are going to
rive- that party support. it is a
nost arrant hypocrisy to be
~aying that Parker is "the tool
>f Wall street" or that "the
['rusts bought his nomination
or him" and other expressions
which are calculated to drive
sway honest Democratic votes in
tates where the party must get
hem if victory is wanted.
Colonel Bryan through Mr.
~Vall has tendered his services
o the National Democratic com
nittee, but if Tom Taggart is
he shrewd politican he is reput
d to be, the offer will not be ac
epted, or if it is, Billy Bryan
ill be confined to the State of
~ebraska where he might induce
~nough Republicans to join with
he Populists to elect a coalition
egislature, and thereby send
ryan to the Senate. We hard
y think the Democratic commit
ee will take chances with Col.
Bryan to send him to Indiana,
linois, Connecticut, Delaware,
>r New Jersey. He might in
iis eloquent denunciation of
nonopolies confess that Parker's
uomination was secured by these
nfluences, and that Roosevelt is
? much of a Democrat as Par
er. Bryan of Nebraska, and
logg of Texas notwithstanding
heir promises to support the
icket, will serve the party more
aithfully this year if they will
ake a trip to Europe, or go into
etirement altogether.
NO SOCIAL EQUAL.ITY.
The platform of an Anderson
ounty candidate for the legisla
ure, is to provide separate ac
ommodations for white and
tegro convicts in jails, chain
angs and the penitentiary.
'his is carrying the social ques
ion to an extent heretofore un
hought of, and in the hill sec
ions of that county it might be
popular demand. If a white
an steals a hog and is convict
d, it would be very humiliating
o him to be forced to work on
he chainagang beside a "nigger"
tho helped him steal the hog.
f a white man is convicted of
>urning his neighbors barn, it
could be a social outrage for
he law to confine him in the
enitentiary by the side of a
'nigger" accomplice in the
:rime, and should a white man
,nd "a nigger" be convicted of
ome diabolical murder, the
aw should have a higher regard
or our social status, than to
wiig these two fiends from the
ame gallows. The Anderson
tatesman who conceived the
rilliant idea of preventing social
quality among convicts, should
Lot content himself with the
tate legislature, Congress is
vhere his services are needed,
here "Jim Crow" legislation
an do the whole country good.
)ur present political method is
alculated to conceive just such
breed of law-makers, and too,
he racial prejudice with some
eope is so great that a loud
aouthed demagogue can win
!otes with just such clap-trap.
Ie goes forth among the people
,nd tells them a yarn, how "a
>oor white man unable to em
>oy a lawyer was convicted and
s forced to work side by side
rith a negro, eat the same kind
if food and is treated the same
s the negro," but if he is elect
d to the legislature he will
aake a law which will require
he authorities to put white con
-icts to guard and superintend,
and make "the niggers" wait
ipon them. He will be designat
d as "the white man's friend"
d many a vote will be polled
or him.
GIVE US SOMETHING FRESH.
There is hardly any need for
.s to discuss National issues in
lese columns, as we all are comn
iitted to the action of the party
onvention, and it matters but
ery little whether we are in ac
ordl with the Parker, or the
ryan methods, the edict has
'one forth,and there is nothing
be done but to obey the party
ehests. Therefore when we
ear a man in this State profess
ag loyalty to the Democratic1
party, it reminds us of a fellow
ho was working a swindling
:raft in a religous community
rhile a revival was going on. He
rent about among the good pious
people exclaiming, "I've got re
igion and don't care who knows
b." In a short while several of
he most sanctified were duped
y this loud mouthed professor,
nd when too late, one of the
.uped ones approached another
rother in distress and said "Ihf
hat stranger does not return to
ae what he swindled me out of,
te'll be damned," to which his
omrade replied with some little
eat "Brother if you are fool
nough to look for that chap to
ome back, then I'll be damned."
ind so it is, what in the name of
ense is the'use of professing our
>olitical loyalty when every man
e'ith a thimbleful of sense knows
hat disobedience to the edicts of
the party simply means political
ostracism and no one but an in
sane creature would offer before
the Democratic voters on any
other but the platform adopted
by the party. Instead then of
filling up the time in proving
loyalty to the party, it is more
profitable in leaving that matter
to States where the people are
not one way of acting, and dis
cuss such things as come nigh
home to us, that tend to improve
our roads, our schools, our local
government without burdening
the people with excessive taxa
tion, and keep us from gettirg
stranded on the shoals of fanati
cism or impracticable theories.
We have received a copy of
the "Baptist and Reflector,"
published at Nashville, Tenn.,
with our attention requested to
a long article written by Dr. C.
C. Brown of Sumter. The ar
ticle is entitled "The Science of
Wire-pulling." It is written in a
semi-humorous vein, and evi
dently intended to satarize some
of Mr. Brown's opponents in the
Baptist church. The article is
too long for us to reproduce,
even were we inclined to do so,
and as there are several denomi
national papers in this State, we
think it more proper for them to
republish it. We do not care to
get entangled in any denomina
tional controversies.

Mr. Editor, we would like so much to
know who it is that wants you to select

vote for the wrong man.
